The Tennessee Black Caucus is making stops across the state as part of a listening tour that allows constituents to guide legislative proposals for 2023, WPLN reports. Rep. Vince Dixie, D-Nashville, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus, says the discussion will be used to guide what laws and investments are proposed for communities during the next legislative session. Lawmakers will also be looking to hear from Nashville residents to find commonalities affecting other people across the state, such as gun violence. Stops have already been made in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nashville. The caucus will be in Memphis at the National Civil Rights Museum on June 16 at 6 p.m. CDT. Additional stops will be planned for July.
